Love it, it's a breath of fresh air compared to the usual vibe coded SaaS that's dominating Show HN these days.

Do you know this isn't vibe coded? (Idk if this is or isn't.) I don't mind vibe coded apps that are still good experiences.

  It is vibecoded. You can tell from the title alone, but also the code: https://github.com/fraware/EVERYTHING-RINGS https://github.com/fraware/EVERYTHING-RINGS

    No sane person would write a README this way (emphasis on sane - PR dept drones aren't). But the dead giveaway is the branches of that repo.

  The text is a dead giveaway, this is llm style "something. something else. some short conclusion." > Tap start, allow microphone access, then make one clean strike. No upload. No account. Your microphone stays local.

    The reason LLMs write like that is because they learned on human written taglines.
    - micromacrofoot 1mo ago
      right, but with the amount of text LLMs generate and how often they use these patterns it's pathological
      - Xirdus 1mo ago
        I'd say marketing texts were pathological long before LLMs were created.
        micromacrofoot 1mo ago
        Right but it's not something you'd see on the website of an app built by a single developer without a marketing team, people are emailing each other this marketing slop now

        Another way to look at it - marketing isn't any worse than it was before, it just got cheaper and more accessible to non-millionaires.

      No. it's so it can be fingerprinted.
      - ButlerianJihad 1mo ago
        Actually it is because it learned from human writing styles. Perhaps you mean "watermarked" rather than "fingerprinted" which is a rather different concept. No, whether or not the output text has been through a watermarking process, it will still retain the same style and substance, because it learned from human writing styles. Watermarking of LLM text works by being more or less transparent and undetectable.
